Askren, who is set to make his boxing debut at the event promised Paul is in for “a rude awakening”.

“I know Jake Paul is enjoying pretending he is a fighter,” Askren said. “I think on April 17 he is going to have a rude awakening to what being a fighter is really like. Jake has led a privileged life and doesn’t really know what the meaning of being a fighter is. I’m going to put his dreams to an end.”

The 24-year-old internet celebrity vowed to knoc kout Askren on April 17.

“Ben Askren is a two-time NCAA champion, a world champion in two different global mixed martial arts organizations and has less losses on his record than Conor McGregor,” Paul said.

“Me, on the other hand, I started boxing two years ago and I’m still going to knock his ass out faster than [Jorge] Masvidal. These MMA guys think because they throw punches they know how to box. The world complained because I knocked out a basketball player and not a real fighter. So now I’m giving the people what they want by taking on a ‘real fighter.’ After Ben Askren is added to my knockout meme collection, what can anybody say? Thank you to Triller Fight Club for giving me the platform to once again put a man to sleep. April 17, it’s lights out for Askren.”

According to Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh, the fight will be contested with ten-ounce gloves in a twenty-by-twenty ring. The card will feature popular names from boxing, MMA, and social media competing in the squared circle.

Jake Paul Trolls Conor McGregor After Dustin Poirier Defeat

None seemed to be more excited about the loss of Conor McGregor than YouTube star / up and coming boxer Jake Paul who took to Twitter sharing some words for the former champion immediately after his loss. Late in 2020, Paul took aim at Conor McGregor following his knockout victory over NBA star Nate Robinson, […]

Late in 2020, Paul took aim at Conor McGregor following his knockout victory over NBA star Nate Robinson, however, it appeared the former UFC champion had no interest in taking on the YouTuber. At that point, Paul had offered McGregor a sum of 50 million dollars to enter the boxing ring against him, since this recent upset, however, the offer according to Paul has shrunk substantially to just $10,000.

McGregor made his long-awaited return to the octagon to take on Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. Heading into the matchup McGregor was seen as the favorite by many and had teased that he would showcase the best form of McGregor we have seen yet. Starting off the fight McGregor looked great aside from an early takedown by Poirier even coming close to finishing the fight near the end of the first. In the second round, however, wild McGregor started off strong Poirier found momentum and a big shot allowing him to turn the tides and take the former double champ out with a barrage of shots.

While Paul may be aiming at a matchup with McGregor in boxing, the former UFC champion’s name has been attached to an upcoming bout with boxing royalty Manny Pacquiao. UFC President Dana White has said that it is unlikely that the boxing bout with Pacquiao happens this year, and given that McGregor remains under contract with the UFC the chances of McGregor entering the boxing ring this year against anyone seem slim.

Currently, Paul boasts a 2-0 professional boxing record with his first victory coming against a fellow YouTube and his second against the NBA star in Robinson.
